The Movie Novel (Goosebumps) is the official novelization of the 2015 live-action Goosebumps movie starring Jack Black. The story is a meta-adventure that follows a teenage boy named Zach Cooper who moves to a new town and befriends his mysterious neighbor, Hannah, whose father is secretly R.L. Stine. When Zach accidentally unlocks one of Stine's original Goosebumps manuscripts, all the terrifying creatures—including Slappy the Dummy, the Abominable Snowman, and the Werewolf of Fever Swamp—are released into the real world. The novel chronicles Zach, Hannah, and Stine's frantic effort to recapture the monsters by writing the ending to the original manuscript, combining elements of all the classic books into one blockbuster adventure.
